What is Brick?

Brick is a grassroots movement of young people who are dissatisfied with their relationship to technology and social media, and are looking to spend more time engaged in the real world.

We challenge young people to Brick (TM) their phones for at least an hour a day. To Brick your phone means to set it down, put it in Airplane Mode (or Brick Mode) - turning it into a brick (get it?) - and go do something engaging in the real world. Can you go phone-free for an hour a day?

THE BRICK APP

The Brick app incentivizes us to go phone-free for at least an hour every day by tracking and gamifying the time we spend in Airplane Mode. We can track our Brick Time, set an intention for what we want to do during phone-free time, build daily streaks, accomplish phone-free challenges, and share our progress with friends on social media.

THE BRICK COMMUNITY

We don't accept the current state of our culture, where real-world relationships have been replaced with those through our phones. Members of the Brick community are dedicated to taking back control of how we spend our time, by making time to put down our phones for a little every day, and participating in phone-free experiences together.

THE BRICK EVENTS

Brick throws highly curated phone-free experiences in our hub of Los Angeles. Approximately once a month, the Brick community is invited to attend a truly unique experience that often brings us out of our comfort zones, and fosters meaningful connections. Brick also promotes Brick-Approved third-party events.

OUR PARTNERS

Brick is not just about putting down our phones, but going out and doing something meaningful in the real world. Our partners are businesses that supports a healthy lifestyle (and often phone-free). For those of us looking to spend more time doing things we love, our partners make that happen.
